Exhibits

The Lawrence Hall of Science is UC Berkeley’s public science center and a destination for science fun for more than 40 years. Come visit our featured and ongoing exhibits—and explore science by doing science.

Find out what scientists at UC Berkeley and around the world are working on—right now. View nanoparticles under an electron microscope, and watch climate change unfold in real time via a 3-D digital projection of the Earth.

Team up with Cal Engineering students to tackle a design challenge—a bridge, kinetic sculpture, scribbling machine—then build a prototype and test it. Wooden blocks and a gravity wall keep young designers busy.

Stargaze in our planetarium, or climb through an 18-foot granite sunstone that tracks the position of the Earth in space. Observe actual weather patterns and city lights on a six-foot-diameter, 3-D digital projection of our planet.

Experience small-scale versions of the geologic forces that have shaped the Bay Area. Control the water flow from the simulated Sierra Nevada, set erosion in motion at our hands-on erosion tables, and check out the Bay with powerful telescopes.
